<h4>Chapter 813: Chapter 707: The Mysterious Chairman (Please Subscribe!)</h4><h4></h4>


    Who is the founder of Comet Entertainment?


    This question arose in the minds of these financial journalists.


    Previously, the movie promotions of Comet Entertainment were just entertainment news, which they didn’t pay much attention to, but the acquisition of Tudou was a thorough piece of financial news, which was their professional duty.


    They recalled Comet Entertainment’s recent major moves.


    First, they acquired Qi Dian Literature from Shanda.


    Then Qi Dian Literature went on to merge with many simr original novel websites and bought a substantial publishing house, firmly establishing its position as the number one enterprise in online literature, and its expansion had not yet ceased.


    This month, they established a talent agency.


    They promoted their first movie release.


    They founded Comet Video.


    And finally, they acquired Tudou.


    Only then did this behemoth appear before their eyes; by digging up what thepany had done before, they could see it was ambitious and, alongside its ambition, it had ample funding.


    All along, it wasn’t mergers, but full acquisitions.


    Suddenly.


    They felt a major force was rising.


    So.


    The investigation into the founder of thispany began.


    As professionals, it was not difficult for them to investigate apany’s shareholder information. There were many legal channels avable, but they could only find out information about thepany’s legal representative, registered capital, etc. Anything more would be slightly illegal.


    Soon.


    The name Tang Qing appeared before them.


    They also discovered the six hundred million RMB registered capital of Comet Entertainment.


    However, that was all they could find.


    Anything else.


    They didn’t even find a single photo, which was somewhat frustrating. Without a photo, dry text, no matter how beautifully the journalists wrote, would still be awkward to read.


    .....


    Sina Headquarters.


    Office of Chi Yingjie, the chief editor of the Financial News channel.


    He was listening to a report from his subordinate, journalist Mo Wantong.


    "Editor-in-chief, that’s the situation. The chairman of Comet Video is named Tang Qing. There are also two other shareholders with unclear identities, no photos, and it seems like they’ve never attended any events, as if they don’t want to show their faces. The most crucial thing, do you know what it is?"


    After speaking, Mo Wantong eagerly awaited the editor’s question.


    "Mo, just cut to the chase, will you?" the editor said helplessly, giving her a look.


    Mo Wantonges from an official family, even a small leader in the Industrial and Commercial department, a district-level cadre in Beijing—her background is not light. When she was recruited, it was also with the purpose of expanding information channels.


    Mo Wantong is good in every aspect.


    Young, beautiful, intelligent, polite.


    It’s just that she’s a bit silly—always making a fuss over nothing—and yet, somehow, she’s not at all irritating and is considered the joy of the group.


    "Hehe, this is big news. Do you know, the chairman of Comet Entertainment doesn’t just have this onepany, there are several enterprise groups under him," Mo Wantong said with a giggly smile.


    Chi Yingjie sat up straight, surprised, "What did you say? Enterprise groups?"


    Those with ’Group’ in their name were not some smallpanies. And there were several?


    Mo Wantong nodded and replied, "Yes, you might not be very familiar with the otherpanies, but there is one you definitely know about, the Sheng Tang Group, which this person controls, holding over ny percent of the stocks."


    "Sheng Tang Group?"


    Of course, Chi Yingjie would be familiar with the leading enterprise in China’s clothing industry. He saw news about Sheng Tang Group on CCTV every day. They had done their homework on this private enterprise and had a deep impression of it.


    Mo Wantong continued with a smile, "Exactly, surprising isn’t it? When I first found out, I was also amazed. We’ve mentioned the name Tang Qing in our previous reports about the Sheng Tang Group but never investigated deeply.


    It’s also because Sheng Tang Group has always been without significant news, developing routinely—just opening branches and more branches. Inevitably, we had neglected to pay attention. But now, unexpectedly, the owner of thispany has started to venture into the inte and film industry."


    Chi Yingjie asked curiously, "What about the otherpanies, what are they?"


    "Tianyan Group, thergest business information enterprise with cash in the domestic market, valued around three hundred million RMB. There’s also a bodyguardpany, with an unknown market value. These businesses are directly controlled by Tang Qing.


    There are also a fewrge enterprise groups where he doesn’t have controlling shares, but the total value of stocks exceeds one billion RMB, which is simply unimaginable— he really is very wealthy." As Mo Wantong spoke, her eyes were filled with stars. Imagine how many clothes that could buy.


    With her channels.


    She could only find some domestic information.


    She couldn’t possibly investigate the affairs of Wan Qing Mining, Microcrystalline Technology, or the oilpany cooperating with Ayman, let alone the Congo Gold miningpany preparing to coborate with Chai Ren.


    After hearing Mo Wantong’s report.


    Chi Yingjie felt this was a significant news opportunity, asking, "No photos, no addresses or other information?"


    "No, but I know his age, and that’s what’s most incredible, he’s only neen." Even already knowing this, Mo Wantong couldn’t help disbelief in her eyes. Which tycoon’s second generation was this fabulous, she had yet to find out.


    "Neen years old? Are you sure?" Chi Yingjie was also shocked.


    Mo Wantong said with confidence, "Of course, I even sought confirmation from someone who works at the TV station in Qingyan City: Tang Qing really is only neen years old. Unfortunately, there isn’t a single photo of him; he’s too low-profile."


    "That makes sense; considering he’s so young, his family probably doesn’t want him to attract too much attention." Chi Yingjie analyzed.


    "Hehe, Editor-in-chief, I would like to visit Comet Films and see if there’s a chance for an exclusive interview with their Chairman," Mo Wantong proposed earnestly, as such matters required a show of sincerity.


    Tang Qing obviously was not the type who hoped to hype himself through the media.


    For a boss who disliked being in the limelight, their financial news channel was not like the entertainment channels that loved to make big news out of celebrities, gossip, and mindlessly following trends without any bottom line.


    They, as financial news journalists,


    must maintain an attitude of objectivity, rigour, and respect.


    Maintaining a good rtionship with the subject of their stories was essential; thus, they could learn about key financial news and major developments ahead of time, unlike entertainment news where they could fabricate and take things out of context if there were no real stories.


    It was no big deal.


    "Alright, you go and visit their President personally," Chi Yingjie agreed immediately.


    Mo Wantong made a victory gesture, happily saying, "Okie dokie, I’ll contact their President Pu Chaodong right away, do an exclusive interview with him first, and then inquire about their Chairman."


    "Mm, mind your attitude. Tang Qing doesn’t look like someone with a simple background; if it’s not feasible, don’t force it. The main goal is to build a good rtionship with the enterprise," Chi Yingjie reminded.


    fгee??eb?ove?.c?m


    "Don’t worry, I know,"


    Mo Wantong promised wholeheartedly.


    Coming from a family of officials,


    she might act a bit naive, but being a native of Beijing, assessing the situation was a fundamental skill.


    ...


    The following day.


    Morning.


    Mo Wantong arrived at Comet Film’s headquarters.


    She had taken an airne to the city the previous afternoon and had taken advantage of the opportunity to freeload off a dinner... and breakfast from her best friend.


    If it were an interview for entertainment news, Pu Chaodong wouldn’t even want to bother with it. Indeed, he had previously declined interview requests from six entertainment journalists, handing them all off to Li Xizhao, because Pu Chaodong was in charge of Company operations.


    He wasn’t a celebrity nor did he have any desire to be famous within the entertainment news sector, lest Tang Qing see it and think he didn’t understand his proper ce; that would be problematic.


    In the President’s office,


    seeing Pu Chaodong, Mo Wantong quickly approached him and stretched out her hand gracefully with a smile, "President Pu, nice to meet you. I am Mo Wantong, a journalist for Sina Finance."


    "Miss Mo, wee, please have a seat," responded Pu Chaodong with a smile.


    This time it was only a text interview, requiring just a few photos: Pu Chaodong was experienced with it, as there were many journalists wanting to interview him. In the end, he chose five media outlets; thus, he would be rather busy over the following days.


    "Thank you for agreeing to our exclusive interview this time," Mo Wantong thanked him in a formal manner.


    "You’re wee."


    Pu Chaodong poured a cup of tea for Mo Wantong.


    Taking the tea cup, Mo Wantong smiled and said, "Thanks, President Pu. Let’s just have a casual chat for this interview. It’s a bit more rxing than a video interview which requires attending to detail and process, hehe."


    "Yes, this does feel more authentic. Let’s begin," agreed Pu Chaodong.


    Mo Wantong took on a serious expression but kept her smile, "Alright, then, President Pu, the first question is: How do you define the position of Comet Films? It seems that you’re not only involved in the entertainment industry but also inte videos, web literature, and physical publishing. It seems a bit... diversified."


    She reced the word "messy" with "diversified."


    Of course, Pu Chaodong could tell what she meant but responded with augh, "Haha, Miss Mo, you are quite precise with your words. You actually mean it’s a bit messy, right? No problem. Regarding the position of Comet Films, although we have many subsidiaries that may not seem very focused, ourpany’s core ideology is: to promote Chinese culture.


    In other words, ourpany’s position is really that of a culturalpany, involving movie culture, inte culture, video culture, and perhaps we’ll venture into new cultural fields in the future."


    Comet Films’ core corporate philosophy was, of course, not something Pu Chaodong and his team had concocted.


    But rather Tang Qing.


    It was also the founding mission of Comet Films.


    Upon hearing this,


    Mo Wantong felt it actually made sense.


    Under a broad framework, the operating contents of these diverse corporations could be integrated, and while the idea seemed a bit ’idealistic’, it was certainly full of positive energy. Mo Wantong was quite pleased with Pu Chaodong’s response.


    "That’s a great corporate philosophy," Mo Wantong apuded enthusiastically.


    Pu Chaodong just smiled without replying. Tang Qing had inspired them all; how could the idea becking?


    Remembering Tang Qing, he thought that this was not just a corporate philosophy or an ’idealism’ to fool employees but genuinely Tang Qing’s vision, evident from his actions.


    Recalling Tang Qing’s initiation and supervision of the "Chinese Craftsmanship" project,


    As well as the grand strategy prepared for cultural output using Chinese Xianxia fantasy, these were initiatives Tang Qing was ready to undertake regardless of cost and had already be part of Comet Film’s core strategy.


    Therefore,


    Pu Chaodong had wholly embraced the concept.
